Browser Testing

Finally removed black line under images!!

This morning I have finally figured out how to remove the black line underneath my images.

Every time I uploaded a new product, it showed this black line underneath the image and above the text. I did not want it to be there so I checked all my CSS and I could not see why it would be doing this. I then viewed the page in firefox and right clicked on the image and clicked 'view image'. This opened the image on a web page on its own and it showed the black line was part of the image. I then thought the height I have set for the thumbnails on upload might be too big. So I opened my PHP file in dreamweaver and changed the height of the thumbnail from 180px to 175px:





I then tried uploading a product using my upload form and when I looked after I had uploaded it, the black line had disappeared!

Bowes Vintage Images

Bowes vintage is another local business interested in my peekapressie website. I have left it a bit late to go and take photographs of their products like I did with Tessies so I emailed them and they said it would be ok to use images from their website and Facebook page for now. These can be either edited or deleted at a later date and if I have time I will go down to their shop and take some photos of their products and put them onto the site.

Purchased some stock images for my site!

Today I purchased three stock images from www.istockphoto.com. These were for the view by category, view by price and view by colour pages. I tried to choose images that were relevent to the theme of my site and to the page it was going to be placed on and I feel the images I have chosen to use are suitable.

Changes to the navigation bar!

I have made some changes to the font used on the main navigation bar. Below is a screenshot of the original look of the navigation bar. The font used is 'Verdana' but is capitalized and the font weight is bold. I was not happy with the look of the font used so I went on to have a play around with the font and had a look at other websites for inspiration.



After messing around with it for a bit and looking at other inspiration I finally decided to use the font used on the final look of the navigation bar. I have stuck with the 'Verdana' font but taken the font weight off so it is normal and used the text-transform on the css so it makes all the letters uppercase.
When the user hovers over a link it turns bold so they can easily tell where their mouse cursor is.

Admin page inspiration!

Problem with search feature

I have come across a problem with the drop down search feature on my home page. I have noticed it is not always displaying the products it should. I tested it with the blue necklace. I know this product is Jewellery in the price range £6 -£10 and the colour blue.
I have now put this selection into the search feature.Below is a screenshot of the results page. Nothing is being displayed even though there should be at least the blue pendant necklace being displayed.
